Forskare publicerar nya rön om validerade biomarkörer för individens risk att utveckla Alzheimers sjukdom. Med en modell som kombinerar nivåerna av två specifika proteiner i blodet hos personer med lättare minnessvårigheter kan forskarna förutsäga risken att utveckla alzheimerdemens på individnivå. Forskarna har även utvecklat en onlinetjänst, en app där läkaren skriver in patientens undersöknings

Både Tony Ingesson och David Gisselsson Nord älskar spionromaner och är nördigt intresserade av historia. Deras gemensamma nyfikenhet resulterade i ett tvärvetenskapligt samarbete om hur man med hjälp av metoder från spionage och underrättelseanalys kan inspirera till smartare behandling av cancer. Tony Ingesson har ganska lätt för att visa lite attityd när han ställer sig framför kameran. David G
